M/n was taken inside the restaurant, meeting the members of Seongjun's company. He noticed 244 first, and he quickly engulfed him in a hug. 

In response, 244 chuckled in response, snaking his long arms to encase M/n in a cage-like hug. M/n's eyes were buried deep in the older man's shoulder, staining droplets of tears that 244 felt in his skin.

"What seems to be the reason of your crying?" 244 caressed the boy's hair with his thumb, not giving a slight concern to the baffled members(Except Seongjun) stare at him with wide eyes. 

Seeing 244 become soft towards a boy they never know surprised them, it was too odd to see him act so... Friendly.

"Jinho hyung..."

Jinho is the real name of 244, and although he was very cautious when it comes to his background information, he only smiled softly when he heard M/n say his name.

"Yes?"

"I'm... Scared." 

Soon, Seongjun is sitting beside M/n after he prepared apple juice and tempura for him. Both men were confused of his apologies, and they wanted him to elaborate further, but to see him shaking, they didn't bother anymore.

Jisu and Hyeoksu, the two brothers didn't pry in their superior's business, but they were curious about the boy. He is beautiful, yes, but how is he so close to those two men?

They knew of Seongjun and Jinho's businesses, they were involved in criminal acts that the brothers were confused on how a soft-looking boy met the two. 

"It's all right," Seongjun noticed M/n slightly move his body when he tried to touch his hand, which made him raise his brow, "We're here for you."

In the busy road filled with traffic, Taehoon gripped the steering wheel with his hand, tapping his foot rather harshly. The other members sat bewildered at the back, spouting questions towards Taehoon.

"Hey, I know that M/n hasn't been showing himself for two days," Snapper started, "but that doesn't mean he's in danger! You're overreacting this Taehoon!"

The statement irritated Taehoon, he flashed a glare in the view mirror, causing Snapper to flinch. Only him and Hobin knew what happened, not one of them said anything to the others.

"Look, you shouldn't be so worked up over M/n. He's probably just out to get some ice cream or something!" 

"Shut up." Taehoon spat.

"How can I shut up, when you're taking us to the enemies' restaurant, what the fuck Taehoon!?" Snapper started to feel crazy from Taehoon's decision, but he could only complain under his breath when Taehoon opened his mouth.

"I said shut up! I'm going, if you don't wanna go, then just leave. It's simple." The other members remained quiet, which became a silent agreement for them to enter Seongjun's restaurant.

Taehoon and M/n shared an app together, it tracks each other's location incase it's for emergency. M/n was the one who wanted to download it together, but Taehoon is the one who uses it more often. The name? Find my lover!

The owner of the restaurant could feel M/n feeling uncomfortable when he either shows a tiny glimpse of affection, or just being close to the shaken boy. It was starting to make him sad, and he wanted to talk.

Jinho needed to go somewhere, he was just at the back of the place. M/n hugged his knees, blowing bubbles in his drink from the straw, and then he noticed Seongjun. The latter again noticed how M/n shifted his weight and went closer to the wall.

"M/n..." Seongjun started, "Did I do something wrong? You can tell me about it."

In response, M/n stayed quiet for a while, staring at the bubble rise and pop just before he could blink. When he averted his eyes, he saw Seongjun smiling softly at him, patiently waiting for an answer.

"You hired someone..." M/n placed his hands on his thighs, "You hired my brother to get Hobin." 

Silence. Seongjun widened his eyes and stared at M/n with such surprise he felt like babbling a thousand words to him, it was true that he hired someone, but he knew better than to hire someone who caused pain to his baby brother.

"M/n-chan..." Seongjun liked to call his name with the honorific, it felt nice to his ears. With easy steps, Seongjun placed his hand on top of M/n's, "I would never hire him... It's true I wanted someone to get Hobin, but..."

Then Seongjun realized, "I wasn't the one who hired him, it was... 244."

Jinho knows about M/n's past, the CEO knew about that. What was that man scheming? Seongjun knew how much M/n means to Jinho, but he never expected him to do such a thing as hire M/n's adopted brother.

"I promised to never go in between the XJ company and the Hobin Yu company, that I'll be quiet and never tell any information." M/n sighed, "But I don't want my past to be involved, I don't want to!"

"M/n—" Just before Seongjun could comfort him, the sound of the door opening and the loud gasps caused him to stare at the entrance, raising his eyebrows to see the Hobin Yu company enter and stare at them. Completely bewildered.

"You—M/n? How could you!?" Snapper exclaimed, pointing a finger at M/n with disbelief. The others were both stunned and terrified.

If M/n was close with Seongjun, then... Is he a traitor?

"M/n." 

The soft, yet strict tone of Taehoon caused M/n to look at his expressionless face. There was nothing to look for in his expressions, M/n didn't know if the boy he likes is disappointed in him. M/n already made up his mind, the members don't like him anymore.

Taehoon wasn't disappointed, well, maybe he was, just a little. Knowing about the struggle M/n faced because of his parents, he didn't know how M/n was able to get money so early without working. Now he knows. 

"Traitor!"
